Earl's Court Platform allocation

I had an interesting experience at Earl's Court yesterday evening (17th January) at about 8pm.

I was waiting for a Wimbledon train, which started nine minutes away. It did arrive at the time expected, but the platform DMIs kept flashing "Information Update" and the actual platform kept swapping between 3 and 4. I didn't keep any sort of careful record, but it must have swapped over at least a dozen times.

I presume that this is all an automated process, although it did make waiting for the train quite disconcerting. Most of us were stood in the middle of the island, waiting for the train to actually arrive before moving to the correct platform.

Probably predicting which Wimbledon train would arrive first, one from Edgware Road into pfm.4 or one from the City into pfm.3 or 4?

It was definitely the same train, as the next Wimbledon train was five minutes behind it.
